Anon, like all anons, going through some heavy stuff but wouldn't trade it for anything, anon's where he wants to be. Went through radiation treatments, lost appetite. Doctor said Ensure. Anon went another route. Learned to make eggnog. 475 calories/cup.
Recipe. Put 1 quart whole milk, 1 pint heavy cream and 1 teaspoon nutmeg into 4 quart pan on medium heat. Need candy thermometer.
While milk/creme mixture is heating get a large mixing bowl.
Put a dozen egg yokes into bowl. Crack eggs, split in half and pour back and forth between eggshell half's to separate yokes. Add 1 cup sugar. Whisk. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk some more.
Go back to milk/cream mixture. Whisk and heat to 160-170 degrees. Some steam rising but no bubbles. Take pot off heat and with a dipper spoon add spoonfuls to egg yoke mixture while whisking.
Put full mixture from mixing bowl back into cooking pot and heat to 160-170 degrees while whisking. Take off heat, cool until room temp, put into a pitcher and put into fridge..
